2011 Map of Port Hope

About this map

The Lake Huron shoreline in Huron County defines this part of the Michigan Thumb, where the village of Port Hope serves as the primary settlement. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape of established agriculture and coastal geography, marked by a high concentration of burial grounds including Gore Cemetery, Port Hope Cemetery, and Forest Bay Cemetery. The township's infrastructure is anchored by the Port Hope Post Office and the small Ludington Airport located further inland. Along the coast, geological features like Hardwood Point and Smokers Point punctuate the lakefront, while small watercourses such as Diamond Creek and Ocha Creek drain toward the shore. To the south, Ludington Cemetery and the settlement of Rubicon Beach show the continued development of the lakefront, even as the interior maintains a grid of rural routes such as Filion Rd and Swayze Rd.
